Getting Acquainted With Our Members by Bobbie Mays

When Joe Nip McKnight was born, December 4, 1933, his dad said it cost him a “cow and two calves.” Widely grinning, Joe Nip told me, “he sold ‘em for $17, exactly the amount of the hospital bill!” Growing up and living in Bemis where he attended Bemis Elementary, was in the day and time when this delightful, thriving community was operated by the Bemis Cotton Mill. The company owned everything…all the houses, the post office building, the grocery store, hardware store and even provided part of the funding for the new high school when Nip was in the 6th grade. One of his fondest memories is Mrs. Margaret Hudson McGill, his sixth grade teacher, who taught him honesty, trustworthiness and forgiveness. A few years later, she became and still is, one of his very best friends. An only child, most of his summers were spent with his dad and two aunts at their farm in Malesus where Joe Nip’s favorite past time was basketball. They had a dirt basketball court where he would practice shooting as a four year old. He was no stranger to the sport as his dad, Nip, had played basketball at UT Martin setting the scoring record in 1927. Recalling many week day nights, after his dad had worked all day and sometimes into the evenings as the Bemis Postmaster, he would get Joe Nip up in the wee hours of the morning. From 1-2 a.m. they would play basketball at the Bemis YMCA Gym. Through sheer determination and together with his dad’s gift of coaching, athleticism, and hard work, Joe Nip’s skills continued to improve each year in high school. During his senior year, he led the state in scoring. Joe Nip had offers to play ball at several colleges but he chose Memphis State. His reason? He had met the coach and knew they traveled to many states including Hawaii to play “away” games. Joe Nip had always wanted to travel so this sounded too good to be true! He made the traveling squad as a starter his freshman year and in his sophomore year, he became co-captain. He played lots of games in several states and yes, he did get to go to Hawaii. While telling me about his basketball career, he paused, glancing over at Sandra, who was sitting near him on the sofa. Breaking

out into this huge smile, emphatically, he announced that all this “basketball stuff” though was not the number one thing going on in his life! Returning to his college years, “One morning at breakfast, I noticed this table of giggling girls nearby.” There was an especially cute one, named Sandra, who caught my attention, and she, too, was laughing right along with the others. (If you know Joe Nip, can’t you just see and hear him trying to talk to all those girls?) Noticing they kept staring at my shoes, it soon became obvious what the laughter was all about. I had no socks on…and that was when it was not cool!” Their first date was soon after that but it would be several years before they would reconnect. Following Joe Nip’s sophomore year, he transferred to UT Martin so he could finish his degree more timely, still play ball, graduate and get on with his life. His basketball career ended on a high note, one that made his dad proud! His father had the highest scoring record, keeping it for twenty-seven years until his son, Joe Nip surpassed it in 1954! Both were inducted into the Sports Halls of Fame at UT Martin and at Madison County. After graduation, Joe Nip taught at Southside High School for two years. For the next sixteen years, he worked at Martin-Marietta Ammunition in Milan, TN, as the production superintendent and it was during those years that he began thinking about politics. It was in the mid-‘60s. Realizing that South Jackson, the area in which he was raised, had no representation on boards or commissions, he began seeing a need for both leadership and a voice on various issues. His passion to help problem solve, to improve and strengthen the community and beyond Jackson grew immensely. Helping to start a Junior Chamber of Commerce, Joe Nip became its first charter President. He also


First Edition June 13, 2012

became instrumental in keeping Pinson School from closing. Successfully running in his first election, he won the position of Squire. That title later changed to County Commissioner for which he was elected for eight more years. In the Spring of 1986, he set his sights on running for State Senator and in November of that year, Joe Nip was elected, going on to serve for two four-year terms. A couple of highlights (and there were others) of his senate career were two bills. The first one that he initiated and sponsored and that passed, was for a tax on every insurance policy. This was to be used in a reserve fund if an insurance company failed, whereby policy holders could get their money back. Another bill, which also passed, concerned the shortage of physicians in the Jackson area. Through much study, research and in talking to medical professionals, he realized how this might be alleviated. With the additional educational training requirements for nurses who chose to become Nurse Practioners, he envisioned that a NP could care for patients in a way that would complement physicians. Six months later, physicians began hiring them. Joe Nip’s philosophy is “if you study and research, you can get things accomplished.” In 1988, he served as the Chairman of the Transportation Division. Through numerous, in-depth meetings with Commissioners from Mississippi, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee, in a collaborative effort, four lane highways such as Highway 45 East and West were constructed. His passion for helping others continued even after his years in the Senate. Earlier, it was mentioned how Sandra and Joe Nip first met. How about those inbetween years? After he transferred to UT Martin, the two went their separate ways. She continued her education at Memphis State, reflecting fondly on those “happy years.” One of three children, Sandra was born in Milburn, a small town in western KY. Her dad was an educator and school superintendent and her mother, FUMC member Amy Maddox (who just celebrated her 99th birthday on June 5th!) was a school teacher. Sandra’s family moved quite a bit throughout her early years but Union City, TN, was where she lived the longest and graduated from high school. Going

off to college was the first time she had been on her own. She remembers well her dad encouraging her to get a degree in something that would allow her to support herself. Graduating with a math major, she immediately began teaching junior high math in Memphis. Being a teacher was exciting…she loved it! But she also yearned to explore other adventures outside of TN. Drawn to the ocean and beach, she moved to Miami, Florida, where she could enjoy the best of both worlds…”teaching and beaching!” One day, while giving a standardized exam to her students, she began thinking about Joe Nip and wrote him a letter. It had been five years or longer since they had seen one another. When he received her surprise letter, his response was, “Are you coming home for Christmas?” On July 22, Sandra and Joe Nip will be celebrating their 52nd anniversary! After their marriage, she taught school in Fulton, KY, while Joe Nip was coaching at Martin High School. They had a baby son, Buddy, followed just seventeen months later by the birth of daughter, Meg. While Sandra missed her teaching, she knew she wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. “Nothing I could have done would have been more rewarding than parenting my two children.” For two years the family lived in Florida where Joe Nip was hired to be a basketball coach at West Hollywood. Another opportunity arose for Joe Nip to further his education at Memphis State so they returned to Memphis where he earned an MA degree. Once Buddy and Meg were both in college, Sandra also went back to school earning her Masters degree in counseling, and teaching at Jackson State Community College. Laughing, she said, “with Nip in the legislature, someone needed a real job!” She continued at JSCC until her retirement. All their lives both Joe Nip and Sandra have felt strongly the importance of their church and faith. Sandra grew up with a strong Methodist background influenced especially by her mom and steeped in tradition. Joe Nip was raised Baptist but he had joined a Methodist church even before they married. As a side note from an earlier conversation, Joe Nip mentioned, “on the McKnight side, our grandkids, Madison and Maddox, ( children of Buddy and Janna McKnight,) are 7th generation Madison Countians.” Chuckling and with a twinkle in her eye, Sandra chimed

page 7

in, “on my side of the family, our two grandchildren are 7th generation Methodists!” While living in Malesus, Sandra had attended some small group Bible studies led by Rev. Mo Waller, associate pastor of FUMC. She saw how this Church offered so many caring ministries, knowing someday they would be making their home in Jackson and this would become their church home. In 1988, they joined FUMC and readily became involved. To name a few, for Sandra; the Invitation to Presence Bible Study, Stephen Ministry, Board of Trustees, mentoring acolyte scripture readers and Religion for Life Sunday School class. For Joe Nip; serving as part of the “kitchen crew” for WEF, President of the Laura Russell Tri Mu Sunday School class, past Sunday School teacher and usher. Their lives remain full. They play golf and enjoy traveling adventures with their family and friends. From personal witness, they are true ambassadors for Christ and for FUMC. When my husband, John and I moved to TN, we were anxious to find a church home. The first Sunday we visited First United Methodist Church, we walked into the sanctuary, not knowing anyone and sat in the vacant pew in front of the McKnights. Instantly, they warmly greeted us and introduced themselves. As the worship service began, Joe Nip gently reached over John’s shoulder, and whispered in his ear, the name of the person speaking from the pulpit, while pointing out the listing in the bulletin which we were reading. They invited us back to church. We had lunch together. We worshiped together on more Sundays and soon friendships were formed for which our own faith journeys were strengthened because they cared. They took time to get to know us; to invite us; to share about classes, events, programs and ministries they thought might be of interest to us and to be our sponsors. Sandra and Joe Nip know what it means to be FUMC members. They also know how being a part of this congregation can open new, enriching, inspiring, faith- building opportunities. Helping others has been their life. Serving Christ has been the foundation for their lives.
